⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ This will contain some spoilers for Security Breach Ruin DLC

I’m making this post because I can’t make a video for it this week or weekend because I’ve got family visiting. On my channel ReturnToWriting over on YouTube I do a theory series called More to the Story. I try to focus on details people skip over or just write off as useless. I need to get this one out of my system.

I don’t think the virtual bunny is Glitch Trap. It’s part of the security system. It only starts to show up after Cassie starts deactivating the security nodes. It’s sending out a distress signal to Monty and the others to stop her because it can’t actually do anything as part of the augmented reality.

Note that the main parent nodes are bunny heads. The security technician mask is a bunny. So it would make sense that the security software or program itself would have a mascot that looks like a bunny.

Whatever the main animatronic that’s the villain of this that’s mimicking Gregory is, which is probably the game’s version of the Mimic, the security system was holding it back. I don’t even think that’s still Gregory at the end with the bit about finding a place to hide in the ending with the glitch at the Freddy cutout. Whatever it is, it knows that it needs someone on the outside to help them out. The system was keeping it locked up. The virtual bunny was keeping it in place.

I honestly feel like the anomaly the game is talking about is this mimic getting into the system. This time it’s not about ghosts getting revenge. It’s about the mimic getting out.

YES YES YES!!!!! I found the beginning manuscript for my next novel! I did not save it to my hard drive, but to a flash drive. Been hunting it for months. (The image has nothing to do with the novel - I just like it.) #returntowriting #horrornovel #nowicanhidefromtheworld #playinthedarkness #embracethevoid

Plugging In, Tuning Out, and Jotting Down

It has been six years since I have written anything down, whether it is pen to paper or a blog post. I could concoct a list of reasons why this is so...and I will in this post. When I began this blog, it was mainly to be a source for me to drop my brain onto somewhere so that it didn’t stay jumbled in my head. I didn’t expect much readership then and I definitely still do not now, however I think it will be good for me to continue to write these posts again, and even include some short stories I have had concepts for in my head. As Epictetus said, “If you wish to be a writer, write.” and while I have no illusions of ever making a living as a writer, I do want to be able to perform the activity on a habitual basis.

So first, I will roll out the reasons (and/or excuses) as to why there has been no posts in the last number of years.

The main reason is laziness. Most people do not like to admit to themselves as having a lazy nature or any appearance that they are not constantly in motion or striving to get as much accomplished as possible. However, I am being honest with myself here, many times I was simply too lazy to sit down and write. I’ve always had a proclivity for putting things off, whether it was school work, work projects, or the mundane tasks that surround our everyday lives. I am perfectly satisfied with existing in a state of inaction in regular functions, most to my keep my mild amusement. I’ll binge watch a show, I’ll catch a sporting event I have no rooting interest in, I’ll simply walk or run outside to pass time. What I must work on is sitting down and hammering out these words; that is, if I wish to write as much as I envision in the coming years. 

The second reason was the ability to find other outlets in which to express a thought or opinion. This mainly comes through Twitter. There are few comment sections I find worth the time of wallowing in, but I began a lot of fruitful, real-life friendships through posting in the comment section of a sports blog many years ago. As time went on, most of those individuals moved onto Twitter. With the recent turn in American politics, Twitter has become a focal point of social conversation, and mostly not in a positive way as I will get to later. However, it is a way to express one’s self and even get some feedback bounced back with others you know and some you may not. 

I do not think in a linear fashion, my mind does not travel from A to B very often. You can see it in the way I would take notes at work. A single plain sheet of white paper would be spattered with notes, contact information, and important reminders. Different color ink, some sections blocked off with asymmetrical lines. My brain trail takes off in one location and then begins to wander and almost radiate in a cloud-like fashion. By the end of a thought process, I’ve almost lost the original point or picked up a few other tangential ones along the way. That is why I avoided condensing everything into posts on here, but it is also the reason that I need to start doing so. 

Returning to my thought about writing things on the internet, the glaring issue right now when it comes to sharing ideas or making statements on the internet is the tone of the conversation at the moment. There are many, perhaps too many think pieces on what is going on right now, but my commentary is simply that the focus has never been more on ���sides” than it is now. People are so adamant to have their ideas validated, find like-minded people to give them a virtual confirmation of their opinion that a lot of reason is being left behind. No matter which side you fall in to socially or politically, everyone has to have their side win and be right, on every single issue. It makes you want to exit the conversation, so that the only ones left in the room are those screaming at each other, and hence those are the people that get the attention. I don’t know a solution for it, and it seems social media opened up the Pandora's Box on good social conversation. I’ve mostly kept any commentary on politics, religion, or societal improvement to myself, except when someone makes a cohesive, well-articulated point. Even then, in the tweet replies or comments you can find enough people from the other side of the issue there to blast common sense and useful discourse to oblivion.

The other reasons mostly are a mix of simple life experiences that most can relate with in some way. You get caught up with work, you enjoy your free time to hang out with friends you make, and then when you are alone, you just want to decompress. Then, as in my case, you meet someone, and if you are doing it right, you are devoting a lot of time to that person and the relationship. If it works out, you make the long-term commitment, which we did about a month ago. 

In a period of reflection, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to write again, and have it pasted somewhere, even in a dimly lit corner of the internet because it would be helpful to me, I always felt that writing gave me an avenue to release mental tension. I’ve enjoyed attempting to be creative in the past and I’ve had many ideas pop into my head over the years, some that no doubt have floated away due to me not writing them down. There is also an inspiration factor, as I have seen some close to me put out great work, including becoming authors. This is something I should do, it may not be as necessary as I once thought, yet I am determined to keep myself to it.

So where to begin? As I mentioned, I don’t have a linear journey planned. I am unsure of the frequency of content. Brain to paper (or blog in this instance) will be an adventure, and there will be successes and failures of varying degrees of magnitude. So off we go, wherever it takes us.

While I made a quick YouTube Short about what I'd do if Garten of Banban followed the

storyline, I am still working on a longer video covering the way my story and game would go and the changes I'd make. I'm including concept art and timelapse videos of the art being made in it. It's just going to take a bit for the video to be finished. Been dealing with a lot of technical difficulties on my main PC, so my recording setup had to be swapped over to my laptop. So keep an eye out on my channel (at)returntowriting on YouTube(swap the parentheses with at in it for an at symbol).

I want my video to be sort of an inspiration to anyone looking at the Garten of Banban games and other mascot horror games and thinking the genre is going downhill. I see the current state of things as more of a jumping off point to explore the genre and test things out. It doesn't need to be all shady experiments and ghost children. It can go so many different directions, people just need to be curious enough to explore.

Since I'm my own marketing team and my own boss, I'm pushing myself to promote my shop more. So, if you're a book lover, writer, or just someone that loves stationary and wants to help out a small creator, this is my Etsy shop. I design all of the art in the shop. I'd really appreciate the support.
